Sex in Seattle – steamy overnight news

Just when it seemed the local news was getting a bit dull, a few stories popped up Tuesday that will put a little sex back into the headlines.

First, there was strip-club patriarch Frank Colacurcio, 90 years old and still fighting his legal battles, found guilty by a Seattle jury of groping a waitress at one of the strip clubs he owns, Rick’s on Lake City Way.

According to court records, the waitress said Colacurcio grabbed her breast after she rejected his offer to pay her $1,000 to go home with him.

Now he faces a sentence recommendation on Oct. 4 that seems puzzling at best – prosecutors plan to ask the judge to order Colacurcio to stay away from Rick’s for one year.

That shouldn’t be too hard. He can always visit any one of his other clubs in the area, and his Talents West offices are only a mile or so up the road from Rick’s as it is.

If that isn’t enough sex for your daily Big Blog diet, a mini-scandal of sorts has spilled into the news out of a Magnolia chiropractor’s office.

The State Department of Health on Tuesday suspended the chiropractic license of Mark Svetcos, who operates Discovery Wellness Center, after he was accused of having sex with nine patients.

As the P-I’s Levi Pulkkinen reports, the department had filed administrative charges of unprofessional conduct against Svetcos, seeking to bar him from practicing medicine.

Svetcos, 34, has not been charged with any crime or accused of having forcible sex with any of the patients, but the department contends he had repeated sexual relations with nine female patients from July 2005 to August 2006, usually at the patients’ homes.

One of the members of the state panel that acted on Svetcos’ license suspension said the chiropractor’s pattern of “seeking serial sex partners out of the patient pool” amounts to an imminent danger to the public.

Robert Zielke, the Seattle attorney representing Svetcos, said he intends to contest the allegations.

In a statement to the media Tuesday night, Zielke stressed that Svetcos’ medical skills were not in question.

“The charges against this chiropractor solely arise from consensual relationships with adult women who are alleged to have also received chiropractic care from him,” Zielke said. “The quality of chiropractic care and treatment delivered by Dr. Svetcos to patients is not being challenged or questioned.”

Finally, this item from P-I police reporter Hector Castro to end the day on a salacious note:

King County sheriff’s deputies on Monday said they arrested a man after they caught him having sex with a suspected prostitute who was just 15 years old.

Deputy Rodney Chinnick said that about 3:30 p.m. the two deputies were patrolling a bus line in Seattle, along Aurora Avenue North and North 145th Street, when they saw a young woman they believed was working as a prostitute.

The deputies watched as the suspected prostitute was picked up by a man in a 1997 Subaru Legacy, and followed.

Inside a nearby parking garage, the deputies said they saw the two engaged in a sex act, and moved in.
